Portal vein embolization induces more liver regeneration than portal vein ligation in a standardized rabbit model.
BACKGROUND Portal vein ligation (PVL) and portal vein embolization (PVE) are used to induce hypertrophy of the future remnant liver before major liver resection. The aim of our study was to compare the hypertrophy response of the liver after PVL versus PVE in a rabbit model. METHODS Twenty rabbits were divided into an embolization group (n = 10) and a ligation group (n = 10). Both groups were...
متن کاملRemission of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis associated with a noncirrhotic portosystemic shunt after percutaneous transhepatic portal vein embolization
We present a case of a 75-year-old man with nephrotic syndrome and renal insufficiency caused by immune complex-mediated secondary membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. He developed hepatic encephalopathy. A congenital portosystemic shunt was identified, indicating a diagnosis of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with noncirrhotic portosystemic shunt. Proteinuria resolved after shunt...
متن کاملMortality after portal vein embolization
Portal vein embolization (PVE) is increasingly performed worldwide to reduce the possibility of liver failure after extended hepatectomy, by inducing future liver remnant (FLR) hypertrophy and atrophy of the liver planned for resection. The procedure is known to be very safe and to have few procedure-related complications.In this study, we described 2 elderly patients with Bismuth-Corlette type...
متن کاملTumor progression after preoperative portal vein embolization.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate tumor growth in a series of patients undergoing liver resection after portal vein embolization (PVE). BACKGROUND The regenerative response after PVE leading to compensatory hypertrophy of the nonembolized liver segments potentially enhances tumor growth. METHODS Portal vein embolization was performed in 28 patients diagnosed with colorectal metastases between 2004 and ...
متن کاملPortal vein embolization for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Portal vein embolization (PVE) improves the safety of major hepatectomy through hypertrophy of the future liver remnant (FLR), atrophy of the liver volume to be resected, and improvement in patient selection. Because most patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have liver parenchymal injury due to underlying viral hepatitis or alcoholic liver fibrosis/cirrhosis, indication of PVE is relati...
